Requirements for Skills Assessment
This occupation requires a qualification assessed as comparable to the education level of an Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) Certificate II or higher and in a field highly relevant to the nominated occupation.
In addition to the above, it is essential for applicants to meet the following employment criteria:
- at least one year of post-qualification employment at an appropriate skill level,
- undertaken in the last five years,
- working 20 hours or more per week, and
- highly relevant to the nominated occupation.
If the qualification is not in a highly relevant field, then the applicant must have:
- two years of post-qualification employment experience at an appropriate skill level,
- undertaken in the last five years,
- working 20 hours or more per week, and
- highly relevant to the nominated occupation.
If employment has occurred before completion of qualification, then three years of highly relevant employment experience are required in addition to at least one year of highly relevant employment at an appropriate skill level in the last five years.
Please note in order to achieve a successful Skills Assessment Outcome, a positive assessment for both qualifications and employment is required.
Qualification
AQF Certificate II or higher qualification*
This occupation requires a qualification in Sports Coaching and Development.
Highly relevant units of study may include, but are not limited to:
» Sport and Recreation Industry
» Sports Coaching and Administration
» Sport and Exercise Science
» Coaching Techniques and Strategies
» Fitness Program Development
» Sport Rules and Regulations
» First Aid
» Health and Safety Policies and Procedures
» Business Technology
» Coaching of High Performance Tennis Players
» Development of Training Programs for High Performance Tennis Players
*This includes qualifications assessed at AQF Certificate III, Certificate IV, Diploma, Associate Degree, Bachelor, Master and Doctoral level.
A positive assessment of both qualification level and employment duration is required for a positive Skills Assessment Outcome. Highly relevant employment cannot compensate for lack of a qualification at the required educational level for the nominated occupation.
Short courses or qualifications awarded after a day or a week in duration would generally not be assessed as comparable to an AQF Certificate II. The volume of learning for an AQF Certificate II requires completion typically between 6 months to a year.
For example, a 5-hour course in foundation coaching awarded by a professional organisation may be provided as additional evidence in support of an application, however it will not meet the formal educational requirement of an AQF Certificate II qualification.
